Quotes
Dem höchsten Gott allein zu Ehren,<br/>Dem Nächsten draus sich zu belehren.
Johann Sebastian Bach, CC BY-SA 4.0
Und soll wie aller Musik also auch des Generalbasses Finis und Endursache anders nicht als nur zu Gottes Ehre und Recreation des Gemütes sein. Wo dieses nicht in acht genommen wird, ists keine eigentliche Musik, sondern ein Teuflisches Geplerr und Geleier.
Johann Sebastian Bach, CC BY-SA 4.0
Bei einer andächtigen Musik ist allezeit Gott mit seiner Gnaden Gegenwart.
